It's unfortunate, but a polished presentation making a strong case for a large market share is more likely to get you angel funding than a working product with relatively few users. I say this after seeing a bunch of angel forums / VC workshops in the bay area. Many of the "ideal" presentations had no product, no engineers but a "strong management team," a large market, and a path to bigness. You are unlikely to get funded without a grand slam story.
